Broke down on a very high traffic bridge, that had no safety lane to pull over. Very dangerous, with no time to pull over when engine light came on. Repeat, this happens to all Ford sport tracs with plastic radiator housing. There are some class action lawsuits across the USA. Ford has known about this condition since 2002, but only notified government vehicles for the fixes.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The contact stated that the radiator began to leak abnormally. The contact attempted to locate the parts needed to make repairs to the vehicle from an independent parts dealer, but was unable to locate the part. The vehicle was then scheduled for repairs with an authorized dealer. The manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. The failure and current mileage was 35,000.
On the bottom of the radiator ther are two transmission oil cooler lines they are both leaking.

Radiator is leaking coolant. Coolant leaks the from aluminum core, pools up at the bottom in the plastic and drips out from the bottom of the plastic on both the driver and passenger side. Talked to Ford about the issue and they said there was a TSB issued for this (which I realize does not extend the warranty) and that when the truck was made, the fan that cools the radiator was not programmed correctly. It wouldn't run when it necessarily needed to or for as long as it needed to which is causing the radiator to overheat and the aluminum to separate at the seam. . . Thus causing a coolant leak and leading to the vehicle overheating. Unfortunately, the only fix was just to replace the radiator with an "updated" radiator and have the programming updated for the fan to function like it should have in the first place. (not sure I agree with paying a lot of money to fix something that should have worked properly in the first place. ).
